<p>I’ve been commiserating with Nancy Griesemer (independent admissions counselor and writer) over the frequent changes and many inconsistencies in the admission process … from deadlines, to test requirements, to college Website navigation. We find that even we, as seasoned pros, must struggle to keep information up to date, and we feel for the parents and students who are navigating this maze for the first time.</p>
<p>This Examiner.com article, which Nancy wrote, is aimed primarily at residents of the Washington D.C. area but should be helpful to those beyond it as well. Nancy has rounded up some of the more recent changes in application deadlines, testing policies, etc.</p>

<p>Perhaps CC members can use this thread to add others.</p>
<p>[Warning … always double-check important info such as deadlines and admission requirements. Don’t rely on outside sources … even College Confidential ;)]</p>
